On the 27th, Odor said on its official fan community platform Weverse, "We are conducting regular legal actions against malicious post writers, including defamation, insults, sexual harassment, malicious slander, and the use of contempt against Newzins, and we inform you of the main progress in this regard.'
"As a result of existing legal action, legal punishment is being carried out for various criminal acts.""The Supreme Court finalized a fine of millions of won for criminal acts of a person who distributed and sold fictional obscene photos by combining artist portraits." In addition, defendants who wrote serious offensive comments were also fined several times," Lee Oe-ae said, stressing that even if he wrote malicious posts anonymously, the suspect was identified and several police investigations and legal proceedings were underway.
In the meantime, "We collected valuable information from fans and evidence of acts that violate the rights and interests of artists through our own real-time monitoring and filed complaints with investigative agencies against a number of malicious posting writers."The complaint included all those who mocked and insulted the nationality and appearance of the artist, and those who wrote posts and comments that sexually objectified or disparaged the artist."
"In the course of legal action regarding the infringement of the rights and interests of artists, we are responding strictly with the principle of zero tolerance, and we will continue to thoroughly secure evidence through real-time monitoring of all channels at home and abroad and take strong legal action to hold them accountable until the end, even if it takes some time." he warned.
Meanwhile, Newzins said it would terminate its exclusive contract with Adore effective Nov. 29. At the time, the members argued that the contract was terminated because Adore violated the exclusive contract and did not accept the request for correction, and that there was no obligation to file a separate lawsuit or compensate for the penalty. They also expressed their desire to be with former CEO Min after completing all the existing schedules.
Among them, Newzins opened a new account under the name of 'Jeans4Free' without prior consultation with the agency. The members stormed up the post saying "It's really us" and "We'll see each other more often here"
In response, Adore said that it filed a lawsuit to confirm the validity of the exclusive contract with the Seoul Central District Court on the 3rd, saying, `The exclusive contract is valid until July 31, 2029.'

Hello.
It's an adore.
The Company has regular legal action against malicious post writers, including defamation, insults, sexual harassment, malicious slander, and the use of contempt against Newzins, and we inform you of the main progress in this regard.
First of all, as a result of existing legal action, legal punishment is being carried out for various criminal acts. The Supreme Court has finalized a multi-million-won fine for criminal acts of a person who distributed and sold fictional obscene photos by combining artist portraits. In addition, defendants who wrote serious insulting comments were also fined several times. In addition, even if malicious posts are written anonymously, we would like to inform you that the suspect has been identified and several police investigations and legal procedures are underway.
In addition, we have filed complaints with investigative agencies against a number of malicious post writers by collecting valuable information from fans and evidence of acts that infringe on artists' rights and interests through our own real-time monitoring. The complaint included all those who wrote posts that mocked and insulted artists' nationality and appearance, posts that sexually objectified or disparaged artists, and comments. The complaint included all those who wrote other malicious posts and comments such as spreading false information, insults, and sexual harassment on domestic and international platforms (DC Inside, Daily Best, Naver, YouTube).
In the process of legal action regarding artist rights infringement, we are responding sternly with zero tolerance principle, and we will continue to thoroughly secure evidence through real-time monitoring of all channels at home and abroad and take strong legal action to hold them accountable until the end, even if it takes some time.
Fans' interest and reporting are very helpful in legal action. Please actively report through the integrated reporting center to protect the rights and interests of newly opened artists in September.
Thank you always for your love and dedication to Newzins. Audor will continue to work to protect the rights and honor of artists.
Thank you.
